The Promise of This Land

DENNIS DEYOUNG

THE PROMISE OF THIS LAND
Once upon a promised land
From sea to shining sea
People lived by freedoms light
Folks like you folks like me
And out there in this promised land
Behind every door
Anyone could dare to dream
Like no place else like none before
And so we came from everywhere
Together and alone
Searching for a better life
Then the one we had known
And so we come tonight
No matter where we stand
To keep the promise of this land
But out there in this promised land
Beneath this fairy tale
Suddenly the winds of change
Have steered a course beyond the pale
And with this new reality
Where nothing's as it seems
Can our children still believe
They'll fi nd a way to reach their dreams
And as we face uncertainty
We hear our fathers call
We the people shall unite
Honor bound for one and all
And though we disagree
Hell it's all part of the plan
To reach the promise of this land
Are we all part of the promised land
Or is it just for some
Our fathers seem to have said it right
I t's E pluribus unum
They fought and they died
Against tyranny's lies
And that's for everyone. Everyone
With a torch burning bright
Till dawns early light
And from the many one
We are one
The promised land the promised land
To the promise of this land
So we've got to choose hope
Not hate
But faith
I n our better angels
Truth
No, no lies
And give help to the hands of strangers
Raise your voice
Clap your hands
Stomp your feet
The promised land the promised land
To the promise of this land
There ain't no guarantees
It's up to you and me
To keep the promise of this land
